3 more points, both MKD and Swindon can get 91 points if they win all their games and PNE can overtake us. We need to get to 92 points.
It is indeed 3 more points Tuesday 14th April 2015 Bradford V Bristol City Chesterfield V Colchester Coventry V Oldham Fleetwood V MK Dons Leyton Orient V Doncaster Notts County V Barnsley Peterborough V Crewe Preston V Gillingham Rochdale V Swindon Scunthorpe V Port Vale Walsall V Crawley Yeovil V Sheff Utd
Hopefully after Tuesday, its only Prestons results that we will be interested in- Swindon and Preston still have to play each other too
What a horrible thought having to cheer Swindon on, hopefully it's sawn up before that game, so none of us have to think of that thought again.
It's only Preston we have to worry about anyway. There is no way MK Dons and Swindon will finish above us. We'll win both our home games and probably pick up 4 from the 2 away.
Mathematically and as a long suffering City fan, it's never over until the fat lady sings. But realistically, and with Preston playing Swindon, it would be highly unlikely to miss out on promotion and even then it would have to go to the very last games. Had we have lost at Preston, I think it could have been different, but hopefully an 8 point gap should be enough. An overdue win at Bradford where we know what a win will achieve will bring the mission down to just 5 points needed
I think that us not losing at PNE (and I predicted we would!) is the defining moment of the season and will see us crowned as Champions now for the first time in my lifetime. We need to get the job done at Bradford next and if we win there and beat Coventry on Saturday it will be in the bag.
Both City and Preston have faltered recently by drawing matches. We must put things to bed by beating Bradford as if we lose it will just increase the pressure at home to Coventry and City (fans) don't cope well with pressure. After Tues Preston have only one home game left and that against Swindon
